Abstract :
An overall description of the methods used and the results obtained in the on-going evaluation of PolyMeCo a mesh analysis and comparison tool - is presented. We are trying to evaluate some aspects of both the user interface and the visualization techniques implemented. Heuristic evaluation, observation and querying techniques were used and produced encouraging preliminary results, which provided new ideas, as well as information, that will inform the development of a more usable version of PolyMeCo, including new functionality.
